I always end up with too many emails in my inbox, and deleting them one by one takes too long, and is tedious work. So, how do i delete all emails in my inbox, and other folders, except the emails that i wish to keep?

Select one message, press control+a to select all. Find the messages that you want to keep and hold the control key while clicking them. This will deselect any message clicked on. Press Delete when ready.
